Versatile vacuum vise base
The PanaVise 380 is a 6.5 x 3.5 x 4.5 in aluminum base that uses suction to mount on smooth, non-porous surfaces. It provides a stable platform for light assembly, repair or inspection tasks without permanent installation. The unit weighs 1.95 units and suits technicians or hobbyists who need a portable holding solution.
Replaces clamp or bolt-down vises
This base removes the need for drilled holes, C-clamps or dedicated bench mounts when a clean glass, metal or laminate surface is available. The jump is worth it if you move the vise frequently between workstations or cannot modify the worksurface. A 360 degree swivel allows repositioning without breaking the vacuum seal.
Check surface suitability before ordering
The vacuum mount requires a flat, smooth and airtight area at least as large as the 4.5 in width and 3.5 in depth footprint. Rough, porous or heavily textured tops will not hold. Verify the intended mounting surface meets these conditions or plan an alternative mounting method.

Questions about this item
What smooth surface area does the 6.5 x 3.5 in base need to hold?
The vacuum base requires a clean, non-porous surface at least as large as its 6.5 by 3.5 inch footprint to create a secure seal.
How do you engage the vacuum on the 380 base, and what step is often missed?
Press the base firmly onto the surface, then flip the vacuum lever; the step often missed is ensuring the surface is completely free of dust or oil first.
When should the vacuum pad on the 1.95 lb base be replaced?
Replace the pad when it no longer holds a 360-degree swivel under load or shows cracks, hardening, or permanent deformation.
